Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3147125A1] This disclosure is directed to attaining high glossiness of a glossy ink fixated to a medium. A printing device 10 prints on a medium 50 by inkjet printing. The printing device 10 includes: a glossy ink head as an ink jet head that discharges ink droplets of a glossy ink having a glossy color; and a main scan driver 14 that prompts the glossy ink head to perform main scans in which the glossy ink head discharges the ink droplets while moving in a predetermined main scanning direction. The glossy ink contains a glossy pigment and a solvent. In the main scans, the glossy ink head discharges the ink droplets plural times while moving in the main scanning direction to form ink dots at a plurality of positions on the medium aligned in the main scanning direction. The ink droplets discharged from the glossy ink head each have a volume constituting a size that allows for contact on the medium between any ones of dots formed in each one of the main scans.
